| The Proving Grounds of Armageddon by Mark Childs On a hot, humid day in early July, he appeared out of thin air, less than a mile from Central Park. Eyewitness testimony varied considerably, but everyone agreed on two things. His snow-white beard flowed beyond his navel, and the staff he wielded in his right hand was as black as night. His robes billowed behind him as he marched toward the United Nations building. Anyone in proximity to this stranger stopped what they were doing and began to follow, consciously unaware of their action. His name was Zemith. He was a collector. The Jarn, a race of god-like creatures from the outer reaches of the universe, have been monitoring Earth for centuries. Earth no longer emits a positive, harmonious energy, making it a threat to the sensitive balance needed to maintain universal order. Zemith, an ambassador representing the Jarn, travelled to Earth to collect two hundred participants, utterly at random; male, female, young and old. Those selected, will represent Earth at the Proving Grounds of Armageddon, pitting humankind against thousands of other creatures from distant galaxies. The entire population of Earth will bear witness as the bizarre events unfold, in a series of ten trials, testing humankind in every possible way. Wishes are granted to the victors, offering Earth a chance at salvation. Failure will result in Armageddon. Hell will rain down on Earth. |
